Athletics Hit by IL Hurdles as Kurtz and Gelof Go Down

Oakland will place Nick Kurtz on the 10-day injured list with a right thumb strain, jeopardizing his All-Star chances despite a .902 OPS and 20 homers in 92 games. Teammate Zack Gelof also heads to the IL with a knee laceration after a wall collision, prompting the recalled Joey Meneses to take his roster spot. Gelof had a 120 wRC+ in 67 games, and the A’s are reshuffling around the break with Soderström and Wilson back in the lineup as Meneses starts at first base.

Buxton rests through All-Star break as Roden gets the call to fill in

Twins place Byron Buxton on the injured list through the All-Star break to rest a lingering hip strain and will miss the All-Star Game, while Triple-A outfielder Alan Roden is called up to fill the roster and likely patrol center field against right-handed pitching. Buxton’s strong first half included 25 homers and a .271/.328/.575 line (146 OPS+), and Roden hit .272/.397/.512 in 33 games at St. Paul after being acquired from the Blue Jays in the Louis Varland trade.

Padres Shaken by IL Stints and Rotation Woes

Padres place Randy Vásquez on the 15-day IL with a bruised right ankle and Freddy Fermin on the 10-day IL with a head bruise; Luis Campusano returns from a toe fracture and Alek Jacob is recalled to fill roster spots. With a struggling rotation (six straight losses, 5.27 ERA over the past month) San Diego will reshuffle, moving Germán Márquez into Vásquez’s spot as King, Canning and Sears take the next three starts against the Dodgers, and Buehler is expected to start vs Arizona. The Padres sit at .500 and 3.5 games back in the wild-card race.

Cubs bolster bullpen with veteran Drew Pomeranz

The Cubs are set to add left-hander Drew Pomeranz to their 40-man roster, clearing space by optioning Jordan Wicks. After a strong 2025 with Chicago and a rough start with the Angels in 2026, Pomeranz could again provide depth and late-inning versatility as Chicago copes with injuries; the Angels remain on the hook for about $4 million on his contract, while the Cubs will owe only the prorated portion of the minimum while he’s on their roster.

Red Sox Put Connelly Early on IL, Recalling Gamboa as Moran Returns

Boston placed left-hander Connelly Early on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation after four innings in his latest start, activated Jovani Moran from the IL, and recalled Alec Gamboa to fill the roster spot created by DFA’ing Tommy Kahnle. Early has a 3.44 ERA over 91 2/3 innings this season and had been a productive part of a rotation missing Garrett Crochet; his IL stint could open a rotation spot for Patrick Sandoval, who is nearing a return from UCL surgery after rehab starts, as Boston moves cautiously ahead of today’s game vs. the Nationals.

Sox Bring Back Romy Gonzalez, Boosting Infield Depth

The Red Sox activated Romy Gonzalez from the 60-day IL, and he will make his season debut as the designated hitter against the Yankees; Mickey Gasper was optioned to Triple-A and Roman Anthony was moved to the 60-day IL. Gonzalez, known for his left-handed power and multi-position versatility, adds depth to Boston’s lineup and bench as interim manager Chad Tracy navigates an infield that currently features Willson Contreras at first base and opportunities for Gonzalez at multiple spots.

Caitlin Clark's Rough Ride: A Timeline of Brutal Hits Reshaping the WNBA

Since entering the WNBA in 2024, Caitlin Clark has endured a string of high-profile, hard-contact incidents—from a debut screen that dropped her to the floor, to repeated elbows, eye pokes, and a 2026 throat-punch—that have sparked fierce debates over officiating, safety, and whether the league is targeting the sport’s rising star. The saga involves multiple opponents (including Breanna Stewart, Victoria Vivians, Chennedy Carter, Jonquel Jones, Diamond DeShields, Jacy Sheldon and Alyssa Thomas), led to retroactive foul upgrades and suspensions in some cases, and has been a defining aspect of Clark’s young, scrutinized career.
